Hi, I am getting this error: An error occurred while attempting to insert a row into the table ‘ABC’ using a cursor. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147217323'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The cursor has been invalidated by an edit operation.} I am experiencing an issue when trying to insert features into a feature class stored in an enterprise geodatabase. Specifically, I am both reading from and writing to the same dataset. I haven't encountered this problem before, but it began after I set the Feature Operations to "Upsert" while updating existing records and inserting new records that are not yet present in the database. I suspect that performing inserts and updates simultaneously may be causing a disruption with the cursor. I also attempted to use the Feature holder, but I received the same error. This disruption is affecting the automated process. Does anyone know what might be causing this error or how to fix it? I would greatly appreciate any assistance! Than

In FME Form 2023.2, we used a dynamic JSON writer setup that wrote a separate file per input SQL file. Each input could have a different schema, and the setup dynamically handled this just fine using: fme_feature_type set from fme_basename (filename sans .sql) JSON writer with Schema from Schema Feature This worked perfectly — each JSON file had its full dynamic schema. After upgrading to FME 2025.0, only the first JSON file is written with its full schema. All subsequent files contain only the subset of fields shared with the first file. Unique fields in later inputs are silently dropped. Example: A.sql has fields: ID, APR_KG B.sql has fields: ID, MAY_KG Result in 2025.0: A.json: includes ID, APR_KG B.json: includes only ID — MAY_KG is missing Nothing changed in the workspace. This appears to be a regression in how dynamic schemas are handled across multiple feature types or files in newer versions. Can Safe confirm whether this change is intentional?

Why does FME Flow (or FME Desktop) store files in the My Documents folder?Why not use AppData\Roaming or AppData\Local?

I am trying to create a webservice to access Sharepoint. FME has been registered in Azure but when I try to set up the connection the conditional access policy blocks my connection. It looks like it has something to do with the way the http user client provides info to Azure. With the FME default http user agent you just get a blocking error, with the system default http user agent you get this: It looks like the http User agent does not provide the device ID (apparaat-id): Not available (niet beschikbaar). The conditional access policy demands a registrered device so it blocks this connection. I can make a Azure connection directly from Chrome or Edge in other apps. what is the way to a solution for this problem?

We need a way to detect/test for Arcs in our Esri SDE database. We manage a large road line segment. The system that uses this data does not accept Arcs, just polylines. Previously, we edited our data in ArcMap, then run a nightly job to check our data in FME. Using the PathSplitter, followed by the GeometryFilter we could then find any Arcs that had been introduced into our data. Now that we are editing our data within ArcGIS Pro, it seems that Arcs show up as an Arc within Pro, but in FME, the segments show up as Lines and are not flagged with the workflow, mentioned above, using PathSplitter and GeometryFilter. How can we filter/test to find the Arcs in our data? UsingFME 2024.1ArcPro 3.2.3ESRI SQL SDE 10.9.1 Example Arc attached in FGDB. Then the Feature is opened in ArcPro, and an edit session is started to ‘Edit Vertices’, we can see that there is a verity that controls the curve of the line.

My company does SSL inspection/interception which is causing errors when trying to view background maps in FME Form. I have seen ways to fix this for the FME Flow (Server) side, but is there any way to change any configurations for FME Form to handle this? The CA certificate for our authority is in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store on machines so I’m not sure why it isn’t trusted if FME is using the machine’s certificate store for trust. Below is an example of error seeing from FME Flow 2025.0.1 (but have seen on previous versions as well). Stadia Maps Reader: Failed to load 'https://tiles.stadiamaps.com/tiles/alidade_smooth/5/19/14.png'.

This is starting to annoy me - in 2024.2, whenever I create a bookmark around something, FME automatically zooms to it. Is this a setting that can be turned off?

Hello, have bumped into the problem of generic reader not being able to read a GML and have read the literature on how to circumvent this by adding a separate reader as a resource to make the generic reader understand my GML’s. But I cannot get it to work the reader just runs and doesn't find data, no error or warning, Total Features Read 0., So my GML is pretty straight forward as there is no problem getting FME to read it with a OGC GML reader without needing to set XSD schemas and so forth, just reads it in by default. I have tried various settings in a GML reader that have all worked and then copied that workflow when I add the reader as a resource without any luck. Have I overseen some step here or any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Send hilfen, Hlynur

I have 7 features, which each represents a route with unique trip_id. Each of these features have a list, containing buss_stop_id along the route and element index, as well as next sequence value. I want to add, either in the list or in the features after list exploder, the value for the buss_stop_id for the next one. I played around with list builder and exploader for a long time and cant figure it out. Tried some ugly solution @Value(_list{@Value(_list{0}.next_sequence)}.buss_stop_id) but did not worka s intended So in my example I want the end result to be something like next_buss_stop_id an attribute in _list{1} which is the buss_stop_id from _list{2} Meaning _list{2} = buss_stop_id = 363, next_buss_stop_id 364

Something I recently learned about with FME is that each HTTPCaller seems to equate to one session - there are most likely a lot of cases where this isn’t true but I had some weird issues recently where a series of calls working intermittently. The process was creating a document container and then uploading files into it and then closing the container. I used 3 separate HTTPCallers for this. When testing from FME desktop it worked sometimes and others it didn’t work. I spent a tonne of time trying to debug what was wrong in my POST. Finally it seemed like it was working, I published to Server and directly had issues again. Looking into the Debug logs I noticed that with each new instance of the HTTPCaller there was a new connection to the service BUT that connection was going to a different IP. The host was using a load balancer to handle API requests. Turns out my container was being created on one server and my follow up requests were hitting the other server. After I fed everything

I have a workbench which is calling data back for 8 reports via 8 different httpcallers. I can add a date parameter to the URL to call back one date at a time. I have 60 dates I need to individually grab the data for. How can I get it too complete the workbench, move on a day and run it again, and again...and so forth, through a list of dates?

Currently unable to use Feature Reader (version 15) with: Spatial Filter = "Initiator is OGC-Within Result" My initiator is a points layer and the Result layer is a polygon layer, both in the same coordinate system. It gives me a _reader_error of <missing> with no further explanation. This was upgraded from FME 2022.2 Feature Reader Version(13). No changes to any settings. When I copy/paste the version 13 Feature Reader from FME 2022 back into this 2024 workspaces and run it, it works just fine. Has functionality changed? If so, can someone point me to the doc that explains it?Or is this a bug?

*Aka Data Virtualization Transformers, but with the french touch Since I’ve been publishing a bunch of Data Virtualization custom transformers lately, I figured it was time to make a post about them—what they do and how to use them. FME Flow’s recent update introduced a cool new feature: Data Virtualization. https://community.safe.com/product-updates/introducing-fme-data-virtualization-38066?tid=38066&postid=86#post86 This feature lets you build your own APIs using FME workbenches. To make that work, your features need to include certain attributes required by the Data Virtualization writer, such as: response.status_code response.body.content response.body.content_type response.body.content_file_path response.headers{}.name response.headers{}.value Data Virtualization Writer After manually setting these with an AttributeCreator a few times, I thought: why not create a tool to make this easier? So I made the DataVirtualizationResponseSetter ! DataVirtualizationResponseSetter This transf

Has anyone run into an using the OGC WFS Reader for a WFS hosted by QGIS Server where the coords are swapped? Before I go back to the provider with the observation “hey I think there’s a bug in how your service is being delivered” I’d like to check that it’s not a known issue etc. To use the service I had to do the following: Thanks for any ideas!

Hello, How do I add a datestamp to a file name in the Excel Writer? I tried adding @Value(_timestamp) to the Writer output and all I get is the file name Bldg_Pts_@Value(_timestamp) as the file name. No date.

Hi everyone,I need help, when i upload my shape file in fme which is in gaus kruger coordinate systemI want to change coordinate system into epsg 32634, and when i use coordinate system setter, it changes, but its not exactly how i need it to beSo i need to do something called transformation, and i need help with how to do that, if its posible to do transformation in FME?

Hello, I have a question regarding the implementation of dynamic attributes. I created a flow to turn a single attribute into text for the actual values of the column and row of an attribute; Following the pattern below: Original Attribute Goal After achieving this, the biggest problem is that these 'dynamic' name attributes come as unexposed attributes. Unexposed Attributes I could simply place an AttributeExposer and resolve this case, but the problem is that the flow will run in several different scenarios, and the values (A, B, C, F) will never be the same; they can vary to anything (G, H, T, Z, B, A, or K, LL, BN, XS, D). Therefore, I need the exposer to work automatically as well, but I couldn't make it receive @value(list_name); it literally exposes the value '@value(list_name)' as if it were an attribute with the name of the code. Thank you for your assistance! Best regards,

Hey all, My FME workbench stopped working and then crashed. Is there a way to recover my unsaved work? Thanks, David

I am using FME Form 2021. I have a workspace that includes a Directory and File Pathnames Reader and a File/Copy Writer. The workspace moves files from the specified Folder on one server to another Folder on a different server. It moves the files and runs no issues. But, after the files are moved to the destination folder, I need the files in the source folder deleted. Is there a way to do this with the Reader and Writer? Is there a parameter I need to change? (I know I can make a second workspace that has the FileDeleter and delete the files that way, but wondering if I there is another way) Here is a screen capture of the workspace:

Hello Safe Folks, I am trying SharepointOnline Connector with a TenantID, Client ID and CLient Secret.

Hi list. I have a master workspace in Workbench, which starts with a Creator calling two SQLExecutors, and eventually calls two WorkspaceRunners. Each SQLExecutor fetches a list of tables in a dataset, adding their feature count (numbers of rows). I specifically tell FME to process the smaller dataset (i.e. its SQLExecutor) first, but each “thread” also have a (blocking) Sorter transformer (sorting by feature count) before calling (its) WorkspaceRunner. It seems that the result from the two blocking Sorter transformers are processed by FME in the wrong order regardless of which order the features have arrived. How can I ensure that the Sorter for the smaller dataset (i.e. VAT above) executes first, before the Sorter for the larger dataset ? As is seen, I tried to rename the Sorters, so the smaller was alphabetically listed before the larger, but it didn’t change anything. The Logger logged the larger dataset first.

Hello Forum, I’m experimenting with using FME Form to create a PDF showing the result of a TestFilter query on a read-in feature (polygon dataset). I have this… Creator FeatureReader Reads in the polygon dataset TestFilter Finds a specified record in the source dataset by specifying an attribute and a value. This produces the required selection. PDF Styler PDF Page Formatter FeatureWriter Writes to type=Adobe Geospatial PDF NOT YET ADDED: I will eventually bring in base mapping and add titles etc. But I don’t need to get to that stage yet However, when I run the workspace this error is generated… ‘PDFPageFormatter_2 (PDFLayoutFactory): Invalid page object 'PDFStyled' parameters 'MINX;-117;MINY;803;WIDTH;112;HEIGHT;39;FIXED_ASPECT;Yes;CLIPPING_ENABLED;No'. All point positions must be a positive number’ I’ve looked in the settings of the PDFPageFormatter_2 transformer but I cannot see values such as MINX, MINY, WIDTH, HEIGHT, FIXED_ASPECT or CLIPPING_ENABLED. But the error is saying that

I have a json which i am getting through http caller. This json contains data as well as schema details. The schema details are like this Column Name, ColumnIdentifier and Data is like this [{ColoumnIdentifier : Value}] Now i want to create new attributes based on schema details. I have looked into python caller but i think you cannot create new attributes. is there any transformer by which i can create new attributes using my json as an input?or a python function to create new attributes

Hi. I am using neighborFinder to align the points to the closest line segment. Points are connected to the Base, and lines are Candidates. I have also merged candidate Attributes. I am trying to join the Line segment from NeigborFinder with the original line dataset to get the closest line, but I am getting point geometry. is there a way to retrieve the line segment from the neighborFinder output? Thanks!
